What This Code Means

Abnormal cells found in the colon that have the potential to become cancer but have not yet invaded deeper tissues.

Coding Tips

  • •This is a pre-cancerous condition, not invasive cancer; document the specific location within the colon if available
  • •Distinguish from invasive colorectal cancer (C18.x codes) and benign polyps

Excludes 1 — Do NOT code together

  • carcinoma in situ of rectosigmoid junction (D01.1)
